'I came across this programme as a delegate where it touched my heart and stimulated my mind so much that I knew it had to be shared. I was delighted when the book came to print and was one of the first to become accredited to deliver it.' - Suzanne Jones, Practitioner 'An outstanding aid to delivering real improvements in performance.' - Paul Birch, MBA BA ACII, Therapy and Coaching 'It's theory that when put into practice really does make a significant difference when you are leading a business.' - Andy Steele, CEO, Stephens Scown Solicitors, www.stephens-scown.co.uk 'If you are searching for some magic keys to unlock people potential, this book is an ideal read. We find Ali & Derek's accessible models and language invaluable elements for our leadership and management development work.' - Sally Foan, retired founder of People Tree Training 'As an engineer, twenty years of management have gone by thinking about systems, machinery, investment, budgets, etc. Only now have I discovered how to oil, tune, grease and maintain the biggest resource... humans. Thanks to Ali and Derek.' - Muzaffer Erdal Kilic, BSc Nav Arch M Mech Eng, General Manager 'Organisations have the capacity to stultify or to liberate. The Liberator is a manual for building the human skills necessary to unleash our own performance to build high-performing teams and to guide organisational transformation.' - Deepak Rughani, MSc, Environmental Campaigning and Sustainable Living 'I have been using the concepts and content of Ali & Derek's book in my work when developing managers and leaders across a broad range of organisations, all with outstanding results. When a top clients says, "this is the most informative management development course I have attended in thirty-five years," you know this is something special.' - Peter Johnson, a leader in developing people and businesses, www.peterjohnsononline.com 'What I love about The Liberator is its simplicity. It is so easy for managers to access and implement, either as a whole programme or for one-off situations - for example just using the Performance Navigator. It's a practical handbook that helps managers develop into great leaders by helping their teams fulfil their potential.' - Elaine Batt, Founder of Burner Consulting Ltd 'This is clear, concise and facilitates genuine structured learning.' - Carole Noakes, Director, Voice Ltd 'The unique selling point of Ali & Derek's book is that it tells managers how to behave to become accepted as leaders. There are lots of books on leadership but very few are so practical and applied.' - Geoff Ribbens, Author Body Language and Body Language in a Week 'I first came across The Liberator programme while working with an organisation who were so enthused and converted by his process that it made me want to go out and be part of it. Having become accredited through Ali Stewart, I feel like I've got a completely new lease of life as a Management Training Consultant. Between them, they have given me structure, meaning and a much-needed process that has left me inspired, enthused and able to deliver management training that really does have a lasting effect. Best training I've ever embarked on. Thanks.' - Emma Brereton, The Kudos Group
